What are the differences between blending and creaming methods?

Answer by  domino20 (12)

When you blend ingredients you are mixing them together by hand. Usually, when ingredients are creamed you need a mixer to cream the ingredients. After you cream ingredients, such as eggs and sugar, they turn into a creamy new mixture where you can't separate the original ingredients. When you blend ingridents, you can still see the separate ingredients.

Creaming is mixing of a cake or other batter by starting with the butter or lard and vigorously mixing in the sugar until fluffy. Blending is simply combining the ingredients.
